​What is it like to navigate the city if you’re blind? How do art and commerce compete for space in the city? How do you design a building for users who are deaf? What influence did the Troubles have on Belfast’s development?

Episodes include a critical look at the role of art in a changing city, and the architectural concept of Deafspace.

​On 26 April 2018 we'll launch the first of six episode from ‘The Infinite City: Stories of People and Place’, all about the complexity, variety, and design implications of how place and space are experienced. The Infinite City combines the art of casual storytelling with informed discussion of contemporary urban issues from perspectives that are frequently hidden or under-represented.

The Infinite City is about the urban experience – how cities develop over time, the history, meaning and myth embedded in place, and how paying attention to the human experience can make for better design.​

​With a title taken from the eponymous book by Rebecca Solnit, The Infinite City uses first-person narrative to explore and explain the city. Producers Rebekah McCabe and Conor McCafferty have spent the last 8 months finding and recording some of the most compelling stories about and from Belfast, told while moving around the city. Together, the stories collected in The Infinite City form narrative maps that enrich our understanding of a complex place.

The series launches with an initial season of 6 episodes, featuring interviews with architects, designers, artists, writers, activists, and anyone who has a story to tell about Belfast.
